"Pipe Dream" by Kevin Blair

Too many quashed expectations and let-downs inspired this song. Life's a road to hoe with hard breaks, if any. They eek out the cracks so easy to fall into.

"Pipe Dream"

Here comes another pipe dream
It's caught me in my life stream
From early into late stream
It's just another pipe dream

What a fool I am to scheme
Away my life in dreams
But the pipes are always clean
They never wind up in one's corrupt dreams

Someday it's going to be real
Without raining a schpeel
I'll get all my ducks in a row
From all the seeds I sow

A smoking pipe dream comes
Off someone else's thumbs
And the mundane world succumbs
Off the tracks of all the papers
The impossible dream labors
And the train it caters
To everything favored:

The impossible smoke dream comes

Someday I'm going to do things
That are up my alley
But my alley has to run into
The City of God
I want my dreams to come true
I need God's dreams fused with mine
